Weekly bunch #689

Daily painting #689 6"x8" oil on primed canvas panel

My weekly bunch from Sue Harding, a local florist/floral artist who takes orders for weekly bunches of flowers. She let's you know what the flowers are for the week and you can collect your weekly bunch from her....just in time for beautiful flowers for the weekend! You can find her page on Facebook or ask to be added to her whatsapp group (she usually sends an image of what the weekly flowers are). Buying beautiful blooms to full my house is my one self indulgent treat! 

I love flowers.....(just in case you hadn't noticed)

To celebrate the long weekend I will be having another Sunday special on my Facebook page....so be sure to pay a visit on Sunday!

Morning light #688

Daily painting #688 5"x7" oil on primed canvas panel

The light this morning was amazing. We look out over the sea and on mornings like this morning I am so grateful for our beautiful view of the East Coast. It is still unusually hot for this time of year and I am hoping we get some cooler weather soon. Our April sunrises are usually pink, orange and fiery but this morning the sky shone with pure white light....tell tale signs of another very warm day on the East Coast. Happy Monday everyone...not quite sure how the weekend disappeared so fast!

Happy Friday from me to you! I hope you have a fabulous weekend. My baby girl (not so baby anymore, but always MY baby) is turning 13 tomorrow so we have a weekend of celebrations ahead! We now officially only have teenagers in the house....I can't believe it!

Thank you for all the wonderful comments on various social media platforms yesterday....it was wonderful to know that so many of you had missed seeing a little daily painting....it really warmed my heart...thank you and much love... x Heidi

Three figs #686

Daily painting #686 5"x7" oil on primed canvas panel

HELLO!! I have so missed all the sharing that happens on this page and the social media platforms that Paintings in the post shares to! I have been quite quiet, I know, but after finishing off a few commissions, I had to tackle some long overdue admin work which required no distractions (i.e. no painting) !! Thank goodness I am NOT an accountant but maybe then I wouldn't land myself in the kind of pickle that requires a break from painting to focus and sort out all the admin side of running my own business. I wish with all my heart that I had a magic fairy that would just take care of all those horrible admin chores which quite frankly is without a doubt MY WORST chore to do! I just want to paint...and so I have had to force myself to abandon my easel and slave away at my desk for a while to play catch up! That will teach me for leaving it all and wishing for non-existing magic fairies (I can dream). 

But today I am back at my easel to do a little daily painting....and painting what I want to paint and if truth be told, feeling a little rusty too! It just confirms for me the benefit of painting daily....it's good to be back!

A dash of red #684

Daily painting #684 5"x5" oil on primed canvas panel

A tiny little dash of red on this little panel to start the week! It's back to school, back to painting classes and back to some serious work after what has been a fabulous Easter holiday! In the pic below you can see just how little this painting is....

So I hope you have a great Monday....and I hope my children have a super-duper second term back at school. I have loved every minute of my holiday with these special people....family are just the best! Now time to get back to work (and school)....

Traveling proteas #683

Daily painting #683 6"x8" oil on primed canvas panel

I am busy working on some LARGE florals which will travel first to Cape Town and then onto the UK with a family who are moving. So my studio is full of roses and proteas and I decided to do a little daily painting with one of the blooms to get me into 'painting mode' for the morning!
